Ciabot Berton Barolo
The vineyards are all located within La Morra, in the Roggeri, Bricco San Biagio and Rive crus’
The vineyards are exposed to the south-east and south-west, at 250-300 m above sea level and have clayey-calcareous soils. The winemaking is fairly traditional, with maceration of the must on the skins for 16-18 days at 30°C in fiberglass lined concrete vats, followed by ageing for 24-30 months in Slavonian oak casks of 25 hl capacity, a further 6 months in steel vats before bottling.
On the nose, complex aromas of clean earth, forest floor, sweet spice, cherry liqueur, nice purity. The palate is dry and a little astringent at present but there is also an almost paradoxical sense of a soft cashmere-like texture. The fruit is ripe, liqueur morello cherry, pure. There is a long mineral finish.
